The United Parcel Service plans to convert its more than 2,000 gasoline-powered trucks in the Los Angeles area to run on cleaner-burning natural gas.

题目分析:The United Parcel Service计划将其在LA的超过两千辆的汽油车改装为使用清洁能源天然气。
选项分析:
A选项:正确。plan to convert看成一个大谓语,主语真正要做的动作为convert,宾语为trucks, to 后面为第二个宾语,省略了trucks。还原之后为convert sth to (trucks) run on...run on为后置定语
B选项:that are powered by gasoline成为了定语从句,跳过in LA修饰trucks, 这个不算绝对错误。只是和A相比,A更明确简洁一些,所以舍B留A。
C选项:that will run...是trucks的定语从句,那么主干成分为“UPS转变卡车”,但逻辑上来说,应该是转变汽油卡车变成天然气卡车(双宾为主干成分,而定语不是)。
D选项:plan后面是不定式作宾语,全句核心为UPS plans for sb to do sth,即UPS计划:某人做某事,那么此时为trucks主动去convert,但逻辑上应该是UPS converts trucks to sth.
E选项:plan后面是一个宾语从句,宾语从句里trucks是主语,convert是谓语,此时变成了trucks去转变,但逻辑上来说应该是UPS使卡车转变。
看了外网的解析。有一点大家都忽视了,就是2,000 gasoline-powered trucks 和 2000 trucks that are powered by gasoline语意上的差别。前者表示的“这所有2000个汽油发动的卡车”,后者表示“2000个卡车中汽油发动的卡车”,没有了“全部”的意思。
另外B中的跳跃修饰不算绝对错误,但相对A来说不优。
A中用到的词组应该是convert sth to sth: convert gasoline-powered trucks to (trucks ) run on c-b gas, 这里run是done结构修饰trucks。一开始我以为run是动词,觉得没有convert sth to do 这个表达就排除了A,然而B中的语意错误是GMAT不能忍的。

语义没有区别,如果有区别,会加上 part of them are powered by gasoline. 某些人的解释都是拿OG,照搬OG解释,然后去添加自己的想象。B没A好就是没A简洁啊。。。。
